Sui Changqing looked at the No. 1 leader of his column in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and continued: "Commander, I think it is better to be more cautious. No. 1 has repeatedly emphasized that we must despise the enemy strategically and tactically. Paying attention to the enemy and underestimating the enemy will make us our biggest enemy now besides the Japanese army."
"Commander, although we have worked together for less than a year, I know that you are not an uncool person, let alone the kind of person who is easily carried away. I think it is not impossible to support the second column, but It still needs to be based on doing what we can.”
"Besides, I think that if we can concentrate our forces and deal with the remaining Japanese troops in the fortress as quickly as possible. Even if Commander Wang is completely free from worries, he will be free to go south with all his strength to attack Commander Wang's side. Isn't support greater than simply sending out a few troops? Commander, sometimes adjustments within a short period of time do not mean standing aside and watching."
Du Kaishan was stunned by Sui Changqing's words. He had been working with Sui Changqing for nearly a year since he was transferred to the fourth division commander. Although there were many different opinions at work, this was the first time that Sui Changqing said such harsh words. Du Kaishan, who already knew Sui Changqing's character very well, could not ignore his words.
The troops have become extremely tired from continuous fighting and suffered heavy casualties, and they have not received a single reinforcement since their eastward march. Among the several regiments heading south from the Mishan area, except for the three regiments of the One Brigade, which are still barely intact, The remaining departments are seriously lacking in editing.
Not only were the 1st and 2nd regiments of the sole brigade and the 3rd regiment of the original fourth division the heaviest casualties at present, but even the two regiments originally deployed in Muling suffered heavy casualties in the battle to capture the starting points in Muling and Dongning. Both regiments were short of one-third of their men, and Du Kaishan knew this very well.
In fact, how could Du Kaishan, as commander, not know that the current strength of the army has reached an unsustainable level, but in his opinion, the main heavy artillery firepower of the Japanese army and the elite Shenghongshan, Xunshan, 409 Highlands, and Madashan were concentrated , after the front line of Triangle Mountain was lost, even if the remaining Japanese troops exceeded their expectations, they did not pose a great threat to themselves.
No matter how large the strength of the Japanese army is, as the largest Shenghongshan line of the entire Dongning fortress group and the most important Miaogou line of fortress groups, the Japanese army has definitely concentrated the most elite forces they can mobilize. And from the previous The battle has already determined this.
The superb combat skills and tenacity of the Japanese army guarding the fortress groups in these areas are almost as strong as any Japanese field division. In any case, these fortress groups, especially Shenghongshan, Xunshan, and the 409th Highland line, are concentrated Except for the best of the 12th Division in the entire Dongning Fortress Group, there will definitely be no deviation in judgment.
The lines of Shenghongshan, Xunshan, 409 Highlands, Madashan, and Triangle Mountain, which were concentrated among the Japanese First Border Guards and other remnants of the Japanese army that retreated into the Dongning Fortress Group, are now being lost one after another. The inside of the fortress The fact that the defenders were almost completely wiped out meant that the elite Japanese troops in the entire Dongning Fortress Group were most likely wiped out as well.
Although the remaining Japanese army cannot be said to be a mob, their real combat effectiveness is definitely not comparable to that of the defenders in these fortress groups. The Japanese army has no weak brigade, which No. 1 has repeatedly emphasized in all previous combat meetings. , so as a senior commander, Du Kaishan will not take any troops of the Japanese army lightly. Even the troops with relatively poor combat capabilities among the Japanese army.
But Du Kaishan, who never looked down upon the Japanese troops, did so naturally, and he had some thoughts in his heart. In Du Kaishan's view, he used three battalions of exhausted soldiers to make the final attack on the remnants of the Japanese army. Although encirclement and annihilation may not necessarily have an absolute military advantage, it will at least be equal to the remaining strength of the Japanese army.
In terms of firepower, especially artillery fire, Du Kaishan can be confident that he has an absolute advantage. Although he does not have the support of heavy artillery, the number of mountain field artillery, heavy mountain artillery and 100mm howitzers currently in his hands is still sufficient. These artillery pieces Because there are supplies from the rear, the amount of ammunition is quite sufficient.
With the overwhelming artillery support, and the fact that most of the Japanese military fortifications on the Qingshilizi front line are civil engineering works, Du Kaishan is confident that with the current strength of the two regiments of the only brigade, he should be able to defeat them. Moreover, Du Kaishan's The stock's self-confidence not only comes from the reliance on the relatively strong firepower at hand, but also the trust in the combat effectiveness of its own troops.
Moreover, Du Kaishan had some other thoughts about annihilating the last remaining Japanese troops in the Dongning Fortress Group. In his final deployment, his real intention was to use the single brigade and regiment with more troops to capture the fortifications, which was relatively simple. The Qingshilizi front line was used to contain the remaining Japanese troops in the Asahi Mountain Fortress with the strength of the second regiment.
After taking the Qingshilizi front line, the entire army turned around and surrounded the Asahi Mountain front line without attacking. After forcing the Japanese army to leave the fortress for a decisive battle, they used superior firepower to carry out the final encirclement and annihilation of the Qingshilizi front line defenders. It seemed to Du Kaishan that there was no water source. , the Japanese troops in the Asahi Mountain Fortress no longer had the capital to resist.
A person can last up to seven days without eating, but can last up to three days without drinking water. Without the water supply at the front line of Shenghong Mountain, the Japanese troops in the Asahi Mountain Fortress may not be able to survive even three days. Lure the Japanese troops in Asahi Mountain out of the fortress for a decisive battle or It is much more cost-effective to force them to break out than to attack them one by one.
However, Du Kaishan still attached great importance to Sui Changqing's suggestion. After thinking carefully for a while, Du Kaishan, who was staring at the map, raised his head and said to Sui Changqing: "Old Sui, you will send the engineers and all the handymen that the column can still mobilize. Centrally form a battalion and assign it to the second regiment."
"At the same time, we sent a telegram to the headquarters, asking the headquarters to transfer a regiment from Liu Changshun's headquarters, which is currently stationed at the junction of Boli and Mishan for training, to march eastward to Mishan and Dong'an to take over our defense. Since it is all training, whether it is in Boli or Mishan Mishan, it’s all the same. At the same time, we will report our plans, operational intentions, and current casualty figures to the headquarters."
"Telegram to Peng Shilu that the battalion that left the column in Mishan does not need to continue to assume guard duties, nor does it need to wait for the troops mobilized by the headquarters to arrive, and immediately goes south to join the battle. We are now a field army, not a military division unit. In addition, we are going south The Mishan area has been cleaned up before. It is still possible to leave the Ministry of Social Affairs there to control the situation for a short period of time."
"Old Sui, after you organize the engineers and non-combatants into a battalion, you will force the second regiment. Telegraph the second regiment to concentrate all firepower when the reinforcements arrive, and be sure to capture the Qingshilizi line as soon as possible. Order the first regiment to encircle Chaori Mountain Instead of fighting, as long as the Japanese troops inside the Asahi Mountain Fortress do not come out, we can only use artillery fire to clear away the remaining positions on its surface."
"At the same time, at all costs, cut off the retreat route of the Japanese troops on the front line of Chaori Mountain to Qingshilizi. Tell Qiu Jiyan, the commander of the first regiment, that I will give him a battalion of reinforcements within twenty-four hours. But if he cannot hold on for twenty-four hours, let him The Japanese soldiers on the front line of Chaori Mountain escaped me, and I shot them."
After hearing Du Kaishan's latest troop adjustment plan, Sui Changqing looked at Du Kaishan, who had an unarguable expression on his face after issuing this series of orders, but shook his head slightly.
As a fairly qualified chief of staff, Sui Changqing could naturally guess Du Kaishan's combat intentions with this order. But what made him scratch his head was that he had not received a reply from the headquarters, or even reported it to the headquarters. , as the commander, he must spare time for the only remaining battalion in Mishan.
Although things are prioritized, and the territory of Mishan is indeed relatively clean. But before the headquarters agreed to transfer Liu Changshun's troops to take over the defense, as an important border town, all the troops were transferred, and only the entire Mishan remained, which was just headed by the Ministry of Social Affairs. The Mishan Public Security Bureau, which had not yet had time to be fully staffed, was set up to assume the role of security guard. This can be considered a bold move in any case.
Although after the Hulin Fortress Group was captured by Li Mingrui, the entire Mishan and Dong'an Province of the Puppet Manchuria have become the rear area of the army. But withdrawing all the security forces without asking for instructions is something that the headquarters must never do in Sui Changqing's view. Accepted. If the headquarters knew about Du Kaishan's request for instructions and transferred the Mishan garrison troops, it would be easy for Du Kaishan to be dismissed from his post.
Although the headquarters is in the middle of a war, it has never been so rigid in managing the troops below. However, as a column commander, he evacuated a county without asking for instructions, and it was also a security force from a border county. Which one was replaced? The military, especially in wartime, will not be allowed.
But Sui Changqing also knew that his commander was single-handedly brought up by No. 1, and his combat style was very similar to that of No. 1. Once he made up his mind in combat, he would never look back. His perseverance in mind and decisiveness in action, Although he is not as good as No. 1 who is a few years younger than him, he is not far behind.
What Sui Changqing didn't expect was that the headquarters not only approved Du Kaishan's action of killing first and then reporting later, but also agreed to airlift two battalions of reinforcements to the third vertical within 24 hours. They also agreed to send troops from the recruit group under Liu Changshun's command. A reinforced regiment was transferred from the Central Military Commission to take over the security tasks of the Mishan and Dong'an lines originally held by the third column.
At the same time, the headquarters also gave Du Kaishan that the Shandong Front Corps would not be disbanded for the time being. Du Kaishan and Chen Hanzhang would continue to command the second and third columns, as well as the headquarters-affiliated troops for the Dongning and Hunchun front-line operations. However, the headquarters assigned Du Kaishan to An attack termination line was established.
The headquarters sent a telegram to withdraw to Dongning immediately after Wang Xiaoming completed the rescue operation. The second column stayed in Ning'an and Mudanjiang. The troops that are now going south to support the main battle of the second column must also withdraw to the south bank of Jingbo Lake after the battle. The second and third columns maintained the front at the junction of the puppet Binjiang Province and Jilin and Jiandao Provinces.
However, while delineating the attack termination line, the headquarters also proposed to control the commanding heights in the north and south of the front as much as possible. This is equivalent to the idea of driving some wedges in the Japanese-controlled areas in case it is necessary in the future, and to curb the current and future counterattacks of the Japanese army. .
